It might have been two days ago. http://xkcd.com/632/ I've used it to try and verify http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jedliu , but he (or I guess "it") sadly failed.

I did not ! Don't listen to anythiException in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

You're programmed in Java? Ok, now I'm really heartbroken.

You know what, I don't find this superfluous. Maybe a bit early but not by much.
